Thank you for viewing. This is a hairpin stamped with "pure silver." Delicate line carvings depict pine needles, bamboo, and plum blossoms. Bamboo symbolizes "resilience" and "growth," while plum blossoms represent "perseverance" and "hope," both auspicious motifs. The overall striped pattern is also impressive, and the black-appearing areas are mirror-finished, shining elegantly depending on the light. This hairpin has a refined and calm impression while retaining the unique texture of an antique. It has the aesthetic of metalwork wabi-sabi and is a valuable piece. We also recommend it as a collectible item. There is some blackening on the back. #koudo #香堂 #こうどう japanese kimono jewelry hairpin hair ornament #kimono #kimono #kimono #Japanese clothing #Japanese accessories #Japanese hair ornaments #antique hairpin #traditional crafts #artisan craftsmanship #silverwork #obi dome #obi dome #obi accessories #Japanese clothing style #people who like kimonos
